DESCRIPTION
The Z-6 rotary blaster was a heavy weapon first developed during the Clone Wars over a century ago. It made a reputation for itself for being devastating against large groups of targets and was a preferred weapon for squad support. It was used by many notable figures during the Clone Wars, especially in the Grand Army of the Republic.

When the Clone Wars came to an end, the weapon made enough of an impression that the Galactic Empire employed it in great numbers for their own soldiers. It saw action on various planets where the standard E-11 blaster and other basic light repeaters simply didn't deliver enough firepower against the enemies of the Empire.

Centuries after all these grand and devastating periods in the galaxy's history, the weapon still remains in use today. It is a favourite for mounting on vehicles, allowing immense firepower and good suppressing fire for planetary defense forces and private militaries. But many times one can find some singular units wielding these devastating weapons with either its standard power cell or external power packs for mowing down large groups of enemies.

The weapon had many drawbacks. Its high rate of fire didn't make it very accurate, especially at long range. And it was immensely cumbersome to carry around. Its light bolts also didn't deliver the punch one would usually want from a weapon if this size. But its strengths made many people forget these bad qualities pretty easily. It was very reliable, proving even fit for the swamps and horrid terrain of Mimban. Its design of using six individual semi-automatic blasters also allowed for a whopping 720 rounds per minute, far greater than any other handheld weapon. Unfortunately, the high rate of fire burned through ammunition in record time.

LEGALITY
Restricted. Not only is this a fully automatic weapon but it's a devastating one at that. Civilian ownership is highly monitored and individuals wanting to own one need the proper permits. Companies and planetary forces must have a license to use heavy weapons such as this in order to get their hands on it. Individuals found possessing this weapon without proper permit must be prosecuted in accordance with that region's laws.

INTENT
To bring a famous and utterly ludicrous weapon seen in the Star Wars franchise to the site. Also to provide a basic example of a truly heavy automatic weapon.

RESTRICTIONS
This weapon cannot be used in PvP. Further, individuals wanting to own one of these must have a permit to own and use one of these or risk getting in trouble with the law.

I'll allow this, however I'd like a stipulation in Restrictions (which should be in all caps, just fyi) that this weapon cannot be used in PvP. I won't require them to be part of a faction, however.

Actually meant for the header to be in caps. Also, still should remove the faction requirement; I'm mainly concerned about this being used in PvP, but I think independent characters should still be able to get it.
